Potluck flavours should clean /var/cache/pkg and /var/db/freebsd-update

[grembo]

I noticed after building a potluck flavour (in this example mariadb), that it keeps packages in /var/cache/pkg after installation. It also keeps /var/db/freebsd-update, in case the pot fbsd-update flavour was run.

This means images are bigger than required.

Example from mariadb on 14.1-RELEASE:

# zfs list zroot/pot/jails/mariadb/m
NAME                        USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zroot/pot/jails/mariadb/m   619M  5.54G     1.49G  /opt/pot/jails/mariadb/m    
# rm -rf /opt/pot/jails/mariadb/m/var/cache/pkg/*
# zfs list zroot/pot/jails/mariadb/m
NAME                        USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zroot/pot/jails/mariadb/m   476M  5.68G     1.34G  /opt/pot/jails/mariadb/m

freebsd-update is a bit more complicated, as in my example I inherited it from freebsd-potluck:

# rm -rf /opt/pot/jails/mariadb/m/var/db/freebsd-update
# zfs list zroot/pot/jails/mariadb/m
NAME                        USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
zroot/pot/jails/mariadb/m   476M  5.68G     1.01G  /opt/pot/jails/mariadb/m

As you can see, even though the usage won't go down, REFER went down by over 300MB (so the freebsd base image would shrink by that amount).
